pregnancy test

Nicola63,
Can you just go to the G U clinic and request a scan? or did your doctor refer you?
I have missed a period, negative on a test, had blood tests but am waiting for the results.. but just want to move onto the next step.
Thanks xx

Hi Linziloo,

Re your posting:-
"hi there this is my first time on here. was wondering if someone can help, i had my last period on the 26th of may that is 57 days ago now, me and my hubby have being trying to get pregnant for about 3 months.I came of the pill in november, I have done several hpt and they are all negative, what is the chances of being pregnant".

I would have to say it is very unlikely that you are expecting given that you've had several negative results. A normal cycle is a cycle length of between 21 and 35 days or with less than 4 days of variation from month to month. A 57 plus day cycle is highly likely to be one in which ovulation has not occured.

I would have a blood test done asap by your GP to see what your hormone levels are like (in this regard your level of luteinising hormone mmust be compared against that of follicle stimulation hormone) as imbalances of these two can cause such problems. In this regard a condition called polycystic ovaries is a common culprit. It needs to be determined if PCO is behind your long cycles.
PCO can be treated but you may need help from a gynaecologist at a subfertility unit.

There is no evidence to suggest that the pill is responsible for failure to ovulate but it can mask symptoms of underlying problems.

HTH, any other questions just ask

If you have tested 3 or 4 times with a reputable pregnancy test like Clearblue, more than 1 or 2 of days after your period is due, the chances of you being pregnant are absolutely tiny....Don't worry!

The pill can mess up your cycles for months after you come off - a much more likely cause of your lateness! And like all hormonal stuff, worrying about it is only likely to delay the start of your period.

sorry should say non-dangerous!!

I have just been to my gynae after my period was over 2 weeks late and I had done a pg test every day, all negative. Was very worried. It turned out to be a cyst on my ovary, immediately seen on ultrasound, that was causing the problem, a very common and non-dengerous situation. I was given an HCG injection and things should now return to normal, with AF expected 2 weeks after the injection.

This might be the case with you, ask for an ultrasound.

I have a friend who was 16 days late - preg test said negative - and then she came on and her cycle just readjusted itself. Good luck at the docs!!

let us know the outcome!

tryingnottoworry - I'd make an appt at the docs. It may be that your cycle is a bit messed up but it could be that you are pregnant- which you have said you don't want to be case. So if you are it's best to see the GP about arranging a termination etc - better sooner than later.

As you say in your original post that it is unlikely that you are pregnant but you must have a nagging doubt that you may be - get yourself to the GP if AF hasn't arrived in the next couple of days.

(Not meaning to worry you but negative tests can be wrong - you could have tested too soon. There are loads of mners who had negative tests when pregnant - I am one of them.)

well the GP for anything really - to either discuss where your missing period has gone or to give you another test. Although my GP wont do pregnancy tests as she says the store bought ones are just as good. But they might test you if you are still late.

I doubt you have anything to worry about though, it is probably just your cylcle sorting itself out.

I came off the pill in july last year. Had three cycles all 28 days. fourth cycle I was late, and did several tests but negative. af then came on day 31 and has done ever since. try not to worry to much as this can make you later, it is probably just your body getting into you old cycle.

Make an appointment with your GP in a couple of days if you still havent got a period.

Any news?

Tesco are fairly cheap and were good for me.

If you have been stressed out this can effect your cycle, also health and general fitness, a lot of people put some weight on after the pill, could it be down to this?

Sometimes periods are just late, full stop.

Don't worry - this could further delay a period. Go and get a pregnancy test, and a bottle of red and do the test and then relax with the wine!

(P.S. Tesco/Asda etc. will all have pregnancy tests)
